The Goods On Oils

there are plenty of people running edge 10w60 fagnuts

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

Once my engine Is running at normal operating temperature, the 40 grade feels great...I wouldn't want to or need to go any thicker unless I was tracking the car. Engine temps are very consistent even after a thrashing. Again, it won't kill your engine to run a 10w60, but the 40 does feel smoother IMO.

Yes I would recommend Syn X 6000 for an RB26. I have been using this oil in my RB25 the last 5000-6000km and it's been good. Much the same feeling as Sougi 6000 had. About due for an OCD change, though there would be plenty of mileage left in it if someone wanted to stretch for the 10,000km.

I was probably thinking moreso of back in teh day when Edge was seen as a very low grade oil compared to Mobil 1 / Motul.

On the topic of oil !

Whats the best oil i should be using for the diff/ transfer case and gearbox for an R34 GTR

[Moodles2]

Wrong section, this is engine oil. These is a thread dedicated to driveline fluids in the Drivetrain forum section.

Had some experience with Royal Purple API 10w40 oil, ran it for 11000km in my rb26 on a single shiite fram filter (noob mistake) and the oil was still light to mid brown, admittedly the motor was fresh but the oil was still relatively clean and the pressure was still 3.2 bar at warm idle, 4 bar cold. No oil analysis just my personal observation for what its worth. Currently running RP HPS 10w40 with a K&N gold HP2008 oil filter, car seems very happy.

And i have to add those 11000kms were on 17psi boost.

Motul 8100 10w 40 on r32 gtr 96,000k's. Great all rounder. Pricey but shit it's worth it,surely?!

[Daleo]

I'm using Gulf Western Syn-X 6000 in my NM35 Stagea; I reckon is very similar to the Sougi S6000 that I was using previously.

$150 for a 20lt drum; what more can you ask for? Basically getting the 4th change for nothing.

[Booki]

I will be trying Gulf Western Syn-X 6000 in my GTR once my motul stash runs out

Motul 8100 10w 40 on r32 gtr 96,000k's. Great all rounder. Pricey but shit it's worth it,surely?!

You can get it for $59 if you shop around, worth it if you pay that much, if it is $89 etc then I would look around.

before my local Autobarn stopped selling it, 8100 was around $80 / 5l.

I did a LOT of reading on oil before I did my first oil change in my new car - the Royal Purple seems to be good due to high levels of ZDDP in the HPS at least, however their marketing claims have been called out as BS numerous times on the BITOG forums. Also hard to find and pricey unless buying from a workshop.

Remember at the end of the day it is just oil, at $80 a change you could afford to replace your stock r32 motor every 37500kms instead.

Gotta weight up how much it is actually worth spending on oil.

Where the hell do you guys get the Syn-X 6000 from? Supershit/Autoshit/Repco doesn't stock it...

not 100% accurate as i can get it in Tas but they don't list the people i use (Independent oils in Ulverstone)

[Rolls]

I wonder if we would have ever even heard of sougi without birds

I live not too far from GW head office in the 'Riff.

You pay for it, & they make you go and get it of the racking in their warehouse...

Worth it.
